Libraries and support for what? Betcha 99 percent are for stuff that 99 percent of developers don't need.

Wasn't this a discussion about the single bloke working on his Minimum Maybe Viable Product? He's his own boss. And if he doesn't want to be convinced to use the best tools for that -- his problem, not mine. I was just correcting your factual error about the easiest way to make desktop apps.
- mwcampbell 4y agoAs it happens, the deciding factor in my choice to use Electron in this particular product is that, thanks to being built on Chromium, Electron includes high-level WebRTC APIs with a complete media stack (including advanced stuff like audio streams from multiple sources). Good luck getting that working in Delphi or Free Pascal.
